The probability distribution of neutral pion fraction from independent domains of disoriented chiral condensate is characterized. The signal for the condensate is clear for a small number of domains but is greatly reduced for more than three. Typeset using REVTEX 1 There has been much interest recently in the possible production of a disoriented chiral condensate in high energy hadronic or heav...

We study the stability of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the parameter regime in which its classical counterpart has regular motion. The stability is characterized by the fidelity for both the same and different initial states. We study as initial states the Fock states with definite numbers of atoms in each component of the BEC. It is found that for some initial times the tw...

We investigate the superfluid properties of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a fully three-dimensional trap. Specifically, we estimate a superfluid critical velocity for this system by applying the Landau criterion to its discrete quasiparticle spectrum. We test this critical velocity by direct numerical simulation of condensate depletion as a blue-detuned laser moves through the con...

Quantum-resonance ratchets associated with the kicked particle are experimentally realized for arbitrary quasimomentum using a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) exposed to a pulsed standing light wave. The ratchet effect for general quasimomentum arises even though both the standing-wave potential and the initial state of the BEC have a point symmetry. The experimental results agree well with theo...

We analyze a configuration consisting of a He droplet inmersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate at T'0. We investigate the stationary density and oscillations of the condensate, as well as the dynamics of the droplet in the frame of a simple model. Our paper takes into account the actual interaction potential between the He and condensate atoms and reveals the stability of the dynamics of a small ...

– Objective: To “track” the return of the best possible constant percentage allocation of wealth (a.k.a. constant rebalanced portfolio (CRP)) chosen with knowledge of future asset returns – Algorithm: Return-weighted average of all CRPs – Main Assumptions: No statistical assumptions are made on asset returns; asymptotic analysis, however, requires several sequence-based assumptions on asset ret...

Scutellaria is widely used in traditional medicine as a medical plant, in Asian countries, especially in China. It has been applied in treatment because of its sedative, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral effects. Scutellaria condensata Rech. f. subsp. pycnotricha (Rech. f.) Rech. f. is a wild perennial plant which  grows in Iran. In this study, GC-FID and GC-MS were ...

We investigate the behavior of impurity fields immersed in a larger condensate field in various dimensions. We discuss the localization of a single impurity field within a condensate and note the effects of surface energy. We derive the functional form of the attractive condensate-mediated interaction between two impurities. Generalizing the analysis to N impurity fields, we show that within va...

In summary, argon deaeration decreases the concentration and the variability of exhaled breath condensate partial pressure of CO2, but there is always some remaining CO2 that may still be a confounding factor in pH assessment. CO2 content has a marked influence on exhaled breath condensate pH and, since exhaled breath condensate partial pressure of CO2 varies even after deaeration, it leaves so...

A Bose-Einstein condensate illuminated by a single off-resonant laser beam ("dressed condensate") shows a high gain for matter waves and light. We have characterized the optical and atom-optical properties of the dressed condensate by injecting light or atoms, illuminating the key role of long-lived matter wave gratings produced by the condensate at rest and recoiling atoms. The narrow bandwidt...
